UPDATE: 2009.10.22 — As I was wrapping up a first draft translation going word-by-word the place name “Inyrkyp” was weird enough to turn up a previous, published translation! It’s kind of strange that it didn’t turn up in a search before, but this rendition is going to save me bushels of embarassment:
Register of the Monastery of Paisley, p. 138-9, 23 July 1295.
CHARTER of the Halfpenny land belonging to the Church of Kyllinan,
granted by Malcolm, son and heir of Lauman.
“To all the faithful of Christ who will see or hear this deed, Malcolm,
son and heir of the late Sir Lauman, eternal happiness in the Lord.
“Know, all of you, that I, for myself and my heirs, for the salvation of the souls of my forefathers, have given, granted, and confirmed to God, and to Saint James, and to Saint Mirin of Paisley, and to the monks there serving or who may serve God in all time coming, for pure and perpetual alms, the halfpenny land belonging to the church of Kyllinan, with the right of patronage of said church, together with every other right belonging to the above-mentioned land and church, or which can by law at any time belong to them, and with every other privilege which is or had been vested in me and my heirs in said land and church, with all thereto belonging, or which at any time or by any other right will be vested in all time to come. And that those things already said, all and singly, may in all time coming, have force and perpetual validity, I have to the present deed attached my seal, and because my seal is less known I have caused the seal of Lord James, Steward of Scotland, to be attached to these presents.
“Given at Paisley, on the day of Sabbath, on the morrow of Saint Mary Magdalene, in the year of Grace, 1295, the following being witnesses : — Magistro Gilbert Templeton, rector of the church of Rothir ; Finlay, chaplain of Sir James, Steward of Scotland, perpetual vicar of Kyllinan; Alpin MacDonald ; Stephen of Kent, vicar of Inyrkyp ; Sir Hugh, chaplain of the parish of Paisley, vicar of Kylmacolm; and many others.”
